Treasure Hunt all over the World

Chapter 1805: One more 10-character army?

After a short pause, Ye Tian continued:

"After introducing the history of the Knights Templar, let's take a look at the origin of the treasures of the Knights Templar. You and I know that the original founders of the Knights Templar were impoverished monks.

After the establishment of the Knights Templar, the reason why they can quickly amass huge wealth depends on the privileged status granted to them by the Pope, and the Holy See also gifted them a large amount of wealth and land.

It is precisely because of the privileged status granted by the Pope that the Knights Templar not only do not have to pay taxes, but can levy taxes in their territory and receive a large number of gifts from the Crusaders and pilgrims.

It didn't take long for the estates of the Knights Templar to spread all over Europe. Almost every Crusader country had a large area of ​​land belonging to them. Because of their privileged status, all of these land were tax-free.

At the end of the twelfth century, the Knights Templar owned 9,000 mansions and territories in the Christian world, including some famous churches and castles, such as the Temple Church in London and the Temple Palace in Berlin.

In addition to countless real estate, the Knights Templar also developed the initial banking industry and began to lend usury to almost all crusade countries, as well as to every pilgrim in need.

Relying on these management methods, in a short period of time, the Knights Templar amassed a large amount of wealth, became the creditor of almost all the Crusade countries, and became the most powerful economy in Europe.

But it was precisely this huge wealth that brought them the disaster. King Philip IV of France, in order to squander the account and to swallow the huge wealth of the Knights Templar, would attack them.

It's a pity that Philip IV had nothing to do with his bamboo basket. He worked hard for a long time, but he didn't get a piece of hair! Since then, the treasures of the Knights Templar have disappeared without a trace, becoming a mystery of the ages! "

Hearing what Ye Tian said, everyone at the scene nodded gently.

As for Depardieu and Alexandria, as well as several other members of the Martyrdom Priory and the Portuguese Jesuits, their faces changed and they became very ugly!

They had vaguely guessed what Ye Tian would say next, but they didn't stop it aloud, or that they couldn't think of any reason for organizing, so they could only continue to listen.

Ye Tian glanced at everyone on the scene, smiled and continued:

"I do not deny the relationship between the Priory of the Martyrs and the Portuguese Jesuits and the Knights Templar. People familiar with the history of the Knights Templar basically know this, and it cannot be denied.

However, to say that the Martyrdom Priory and the Portuguese Jesuits are qualified to inherit the property of the Knights Templar, participate in the exploration and distribute the treasures of the Knights Templar, I do not agree with this point very much.

Everyone knows that the Knights Templar is dependent on the Holy See of the Vatican, and has always been loyal to the Holy See, and is only responsible to the Pope, not under the command of the king and local bishops.

After the Pope recognized their legal status and granted them unprecedented privileges, they were able to grow rapidly and accumulated a large amount of wealth in a short period of time.

By 1312, when Pope Clement V announced the dissolution of the Knights Templar, it disappeared and became a historical term, leaving only some thrilling knight legends.

After the demise of the Knights Templar, the Order of the Knights of Portugal changed its membership to the Society of Jesuits and ceased to engage in military tasks.

It can be seen from this that the true leader of the Knights Templar is actually the Pope, and has not changed from beginning to end. The chief of the Knights Templar is just the specific executor and military leader.

Only the current Pope has the right to determine the ownership and distribution of the treasures of the Knights Templar, and the Priory of the Martyrs and the Portuguese Jesuits have never had this power.

It can be said that after 1312, their relationship with the Knights Templar was completely severed. In fact, they did not raise objections when dividing the various properties of the Knights Templar later.

You now want to participate in the exploration of the treasures of the Knights Templar and share the wealth in the treasures. This is normal. It is impossible for anyone else to ignore such a huge wealth.

But I'm very sorry, this idea of ​​yours is destined to be impossible. At the previous press conference in the Vatican, the bishop of Kent made it very clear about the distribution of the treasures of the Knights Templar.

All the religious sacred objects in the treasure belong to the Vatican, and all the secular properties belong to our company. I don't know the value of these secular properties. Once found, I will never give up!

If you want to participate in the exploration of the treasures of the Knights Templar, you must obtain the approval of the Pope. If you are allowed to join, I am very sorry, our Brave Fearless Exploration Company will immediately withdraw! "

When the voice fell, the scene immediately fell silent, and everyone was lost in thought.

As for Depardieu and Alexandria, as well as the other members of the Martyrdom Priory and the Portuguese Jesuits, they were silenced by Ye Tian's words and froze in place.

For a while, they couldn't think of how to deal with it, let alone how depressed they were.

After a moment of silence, someone finally said something, breaking the silence on the scene.

"Steven, Bishop of Kent, our Armenian Church is not interested in the secular properties in the treasures of the Knights Templar, but we ask to participate in the exploration and enter the Al-Aqsa Mosque with you.

According to legend, there are many Christian holy objects in the treasures of the Knights Templar, especially the Holy Grail and the Ark of the Covenant, which are the supreme holy objects belonging to all Christian believers. Our church is also willing to contribute to the discovery of these holy objects! "

Hearing this, everyone on the scene turned to look at the speaker.

Ye Tian glanced at that person, then smiled and said:

"Mr. Komitas, I still said that. This joint exploration of the treasures of the Knights Templar will absolutely not tolerate third-party partners. If a third party joins, our company will immediately withdraw.

Regarding the religious relics in the treasures of the Knights Templar, I am not very concerned about them. If you find the treasures by chance, you can go to the Vatican to discuss with the Vatican about their ownership.

It is too early to say this, and not to mention whether you will accept your Armenian church to join the joint exploratory team. Whether we can successfully enter the Al-Aqsa Mosque to search for clues is still unknown."

Hearing his words, everyone at the scene couldn't help turning their heads to look at the door of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

When they saw those Palestinian youths standing side by side at the door of the Aksai Mosque, lined up in rows of people, and with sturdy faces, they couldn't help sighing secretly.

In this situation, the joint exploratory team wants to enter the Al-Aqsa Mosque smoothly. There is almost no possibility. Thank goodness if there is no conflict!

This guy Steven is right. It's too early to talk about other things. Let's talk about it all depending on the situation!

Komitas fell silent, and he knew that it was useless to say more, and it had no effect.

Next, representatives of other sects and religious organizations also spoke out, hoping to participate in the exploration of the treasures of the Knights Templar and supervise today's exploration on the spot.

As before, Ye Tian refused these unrealistic requests without hesitation and clearly stated his attitude!

Never accept any third party to join the joint exploration operation, otherwise, the brave exploration company will immediately withdraw from this operation and terminate the cooperation!

After dealing with these unsuspecting guys, Ye Tian and his party continued to move forward and went straight to the gate of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Under the coordination of Komitas, those Armenians who were more than ten meters in front stepped aside and gave way to the gate of Al-Aqsa Mosque~www.ltnovel.com~ In a blink of an eye, Ye Tian and the others Arriving at a distance of six or seven meters from the gate of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, he stopped in front of the first wall of Palestinian young people who were waiting for it.

These Palestinian youths did not carry guns or knives, they were all bare-handed, and there was no problem with safety, so they were relatively close!

Almost at the same time that Ye Tian and the others stopped, the two middle-aged Palestinian men also walked out from behind the first human wall and stepped forward.

When they came to a place about four or five meters away from Ye Tian and the others, the two guys immediately stopped, and then looked at Ye Tian and the Bishop of Kent, their eyes were extremely cold.

Immediately afterwards, one of the guys said loudly:

"Gentlemen, the Aksai Mosque is the holy land of yisi Lan religion. Please stop there. It is not the Middle Ages now. Do you still want to have a crusade?

The Crusaders were driven out of Jerusalem by our ancestors more than 800 years ago. After more than 800 years, the result will not be any different. The final victory is still us! "
